Here's a little bit of good news for all of those Droid
owners out there with Nexus One envy--Google will start to roll out the 2.1 upgrade
to Droid users this week, according to Motorola.

The OS upgrade was first introduced with Google's
Nexus One, released earlier this year. Google stresses that the upgrade is "minor,"
featuring changes to the API and some bug fixes.

Not too many details have been released regarding any
changes that Droid users may see once the rollout is complete, though there
have been a slew of rumors about extended multi-touch functionality to the
device, helping bring it up to speed with the Nexus One in that regard.
